What is gang graffiti?
Spray painting graffiti or “tagging” is one of the main ways that gangs communicate. Graffiti is the gang’s newspaper, a way to spread information about meetings, drug dealing and turf locations. Graffiti and other gang-related vandalism destroy neighborhoods and cause damage that is a financial burden to everyone. Graffiti also disrespects other gangs, provoking violent fights that threaten innocent people.For more information about Gang Graffiti, and to see examples of actual Gang Graffiti, please visit our About Gangs/Graffiti area.
